Several military airships as well as land vehicles moved towards the signal that the Type 4665 transmitted, and the people who were in the area had no idea of the danger. A single whistle was heard before a building on the opposite side of town was destroyed, Echo who had been leaving the garage saw the smoke rising towards the sky. The ground shook as he started to run towards the house. While swinging open the door he was met with Morph who's shirt was god knows where, and a tousled haired Kelly. "It's the military!" shouted Echo before leaving the house, and making his way to the building that had became the groups project.
Brimshot was the first outside wide eyed he saw the lights blinking in the distance, "Get everyone to the garage!" After seeing headlights coming from the north he quickly ran to the garage while only glancing up at the new LFO. He didn't have time to gawk over the machine as he jumped inside the only vehicle that was able to run in town. There would be no time to waste if they even hoped to get out alive, and Brim couldn't help to think that it was the Kennedy's faults.
Rags had slid down the rails inside the old building meeting Echo at the bottom with a quick nod the two made their ways to only escape route, and just as they reached the garage the ground shook violently as a explosion destroyed the place they had just left. Ashes fell fell down from the sky like snow as the city lit up with fire, and search lights. Several other places nearby were on fire, and the old man Rags saw the vehicles that were beginning to come into their small town. "Man we better get going before they block us in!" he said after him and Echo climbed inside the Van.
After seeing the smoke and fire Morph led Kelly out the back towards their only hope. The Type 4665. Kelly made her way to the awaiting van as she watched the older Kennedy climb on top of the machine. "Frau!" he shouted as he pulled open the hold.
"I'm up...I'm up. What's the problem now?" sighed the younger brother as he allowed the seat to sit up, and he rubbed his sleepy eyes. Right after that another ground shaking explosion went off, and Frau woke up very quick. With a quick nod to the other he watched as his brother slid down the machines side, and climbed inside the van. As soon as the door closed the vehicle sped out of the garage, and made its way towards the only other exit from Weedson. Frau of course was ready as he powered up the machine, and he came out of the building sideways. What he saw when he looked around shocked him though. The small town that they had called their home was almost covered in fire, and air ships littered the skies.
The sight of his beloved machine warmed the soldier as he watched the destruction below he noticed the speeding car that was trying to get away, but he didn't pay it too much attention. "First things first," CDT Perry said to the others who then relayed the message to the other forces, "The Type 4665 is top priority. Although I would also like the ground forces to catch that van because I'm sure that there are wanted criminals inside." With the message now sent out the headlights in the distance began to chase after the one vehicle that was speeding away from everything. The airships cargo port opened as a LFO retriever fell to the ground not even a block away from his target.
The ground shook as Frau watched a Retriever fall from a ship above, but he was no fool. The only reason they had that thing was for special occasions just like this, and even the younger Kennedy doubted he could get away. The machine before him was equipped with only the newest technology for capture, and there was a well known pilot for that ship he had heard of. Kaltag.
"I'm ready no doubt! This is the first mission in a long time, and I've been waiting a while for some action," Kaltag laughed as he took in the Type 4665 before him, "Oh there won't be any getting away from me boy! I can guarantee you that!" The man who was in his late twenties had been hoping for a chance like this, and he was beyond capable of taking one guy down. He had been trained by the best for the worse situations that could happen. Although he didn't see this as a big threat he was just glad to be getting out of the base.
Another explosion shook the ground as Frau locked his eyes on his opponent. It seemed like there would be no leaving with out consequences, but he would not leave without a fight. The military had came into this town and destroyed everything under thirty minutes. This place that had been his home where he could relax, where he could be without any worries, and now it was gone. His hands unsteadily grabbed the controls as he began to launch the LFO, and just as he slid the throttle all the way up he saw the headlights chasing after a single van. The only thing was that a explosion blew up that one vehicle, and the younger Kennedy snapped.
Morph lowered himself into the waterways under the path, and helped the others down. "That was close...I guess we can thank Brimshot for that awesome idea, huh?" Just before the military had reached the van they had stopped over the bridge that crossed the small stream, and Brim had laid a stone on the gas pedal while locking the steering wheel in place. Those idiot soldiers never even noticed that there wasn't anyone in the van.
Rags laughed as he leaned against the wall a tired smile crossed his face, "I'm getting too old for this...You kids are going to get me killed one of these days." Rags who was the oldest in the group was only twenty seven, but he considered that old.
While watching as the others caught their breath Echo pointed at the entrance, and whined, "Have any of you forgotten that we are one man short? What about the airships that were up there? Do you really think that one guy can handle them all?" He was worried for the safety of his friend; his crush. Even though Echo was a year younger than the youngest Kennedy he still felt like he was old enough to develop a healthy amount of feelings for someone else. It always seemed that Frau was the one who was left behind to keep the others safe, but what if it was too much this time?
Brimshot glanced over at Morph when he heard the concern in the youngest guys voice, "Hey Morph he has a point...There were more ships up there that what either of the two of you have gone up against, and not only that there is only one LFO on our side now. Don't you think we need to do something?"
Shaking his head as he wrapped an arm around Kelly's shoulders he sighed, "Even if he needs help, what can we do? I mean don't get me wrong I'm worried, but we are way outnumbered... Is what we need to do is just get to the rendezvous, and hope that he makes it too..." He hated to leave his brother; right now he was wishing that they still had two machines, but maybe with the upgrades that the new one had the younger Kennedy would make it out of there. Without a second look at the entrance Morph walked with Kelly at his side down the dimly lit pipe.
Pulling the drive back Frau was slightly dazed at the red light that shown brightly inside the hold, and all at once it felt as if the machine was merging with him. He let out a pained cry as the tips of his hair turned black all the way to his scalp, and his eyes allowed tears to roll down his face as the beautiful blue became a emerald green. The machine on the outside began to change as its pilot did. The armor instead of a pearly white broke away, and became pitch black. The lighter designs that outlined the body shown as a emerald green. All this time Frau had released the controls while holding his head the pain that he felt soon began to drift away as his eyes opened, and the Type 4665 moved on its own.
